Writing for the album is a great place to be until it’s merely a safe hiding place to be.
See, when you’re writing for the album you don’t need to have a smash single (and the confidence that goes along with it). Because in theory you’re on your way to having one, so you get a pass.
You don’t need to have confidence in your songs…you get a pass because you’re in flux.
And since all the social media posts elude to “we’re still writing”, your fans give you a pass.
If you’re still writing for your album, that’s great, keep writing…we want you to release great songs too.
But when “we’re writing for your album” becomes “we’re hiding from our album”, you need a different path.
And I’ll argue that the different path you need involves releasing some music, and as a result your creative mind will ‘move on’ to bigger and better things.
